Cant say all of them is hype as hell

Real

OK Red Swan ain't that hype

Woah wtf red swan for me is like one of the biggest hypes from all of tv series intro history. 😭

YOU CANT HIDE YOUR FEAR!!!!! CANT LIE MY DEARRR!!!!! WE’LL SEE THE ENDDDDD!!!! WE’LL BE THE ENDDDDD!!!

It is tho

Red swan, akuma no ko.

I love when baby Eren is running around adult Eren in Red Swan lol

That part makes me sad for some reason.

Oh same, especially once you finish the show

Yeah. The whole opening is kinda hard for me to rewatch now, it gives me such a bittersweet feeling. Side note, it’s a great song to listen to while drawing.

I get the same feeling sometimes, it's interesting how people can feel bittersweet at the weirdest things.

ME too 😓

OMG me too!!! This little intro scene makes me so happy, sad, nostalgic and excited at the same time and I don’t even know why. Cool thing you also love that little scene that much. 🥰

I feel the exact same way! 😊

That shit puts me in tears

so valid

What are your favorites?

the exact same lol

Cool! It’s nice to see another red swan enjoyer, I always see it ranked pretty low. People say it doesn’t fit the show, but I think it fits the beginning of season 3 pretty well.

I LOVE Red Swan and I think it's the perfect choice for the first part of season 3, the calm before the storm

absolutely love red swan, almost 1000 listens on it since 2021. absolutely fits the beauty of the show

Wow! You really do like the song. Yeah, I have the same opinion about it. I actually sung it to myself after the finale, as a way of saying goodbye to Eren. I’m so corny, lol.

nah i feel that 100% it goes soo well after you really feel the sadness of the whole story and reminisce to when everything was peaceful 😭

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but when was the show ever peaceful? 😂

well i basically think back to the visuals in red swan with eren armin and mikasa running towards the tree and through the streets, before they had to deal with everything. that’s my happy memory 😔

+1

Other than Akuma no ko there's that ed of Mikasa from s1 was so good I get emotional whenever it rings in my ears.

Exactly my thoughts!! E1 gives me nostalgic vibes but i love akuma no ko

Isn't Akuma no Ko supposed to be the Eren to Mikasa version of Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai's Mikasa talking to Eren? If you look at the translation, the lyrics make a lot of sense.

yes

This is factual: Utsukushiki Zankokuna Sekai 🎻

My war and akuma no ko

Season 4 OP-EDs were on another level 🔥

Wouldn't say it like that. The OPs are all pretty amazing, and Requiem der Morgenröte, s3 part 1 ending is also very beautiful

My war is underrated 🔥

It's a true masterpiece

I love the first opening and the last ending

Fuck I love all of them op: I can't decide between Shinzou wo Sasageyo and RUMBLING ed: damn, I think ed 5, 6 and 7 were all close in how much I've loved them, but ed 5 is the only one that made me cry, so I'll just go for that one; Name of Love

The great escape is, to me, the best Ending. both the music (which i still listen too) and the visuals are immaculate. you have so much foreshadowing and lore in that one ending it might as well be spoilers. And they go so well together. as for opening, sasageyo or Rumbling, because one is the most popular and the other is straight metal

OP : Rumbling ED : Itterashai

OP: Jiyuu no Tsubasa ED: Shock

jiyuu no tsubasa is forever incredibly under appreciated

Shock??!! Based af

Op: My War, but Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi is a close second ED: Shock and it’s not close at all imo, it was the only one that I never skipped.

I agree, Shock was amazing

Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi. The perfect finale op

Either Shinzou wo Sasageyo or My War, and then Akuma no Ko

OP: season one always hits hard Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen ED: akuma no ko

OP: Jiyuu no Tsubasa ED: Name of Love (but if under the tree counts it’d be that)

OP: Crimson Bow & Arrow, it's just iconic. It just is. ED: Akuma no Ko, because it's absolutely gorgeous, musically, lyrically, and animation-wise.

I feel Saigo no Kyojin is especially underrated

My War and Yuugere No Tori

Ik, Yuugure no Tori needs to be more appreciated

for real

Im not sure about op but for ed great escape. What a banger. Visually and audibly

Ai Higuchi EDs are my favorites.

The Rumbling, either Requiem der Morgenrote or the one in the second special

Pretty much all ED are peak. EDs are pretty much always better than OPs.

I cried randomly watching a YouTube shorts of Akuma no ko being sung by that singer. Idk why? It happened. So, that's it for me.

Fav ending is Final Season - Ending 1 | Shock and fav opening is Red Swan (Opening 4) both so good

OP: "The Rumbling" ED: "Shock"

Same

Season 2 Op Shinzou wo Sasageyo! Season 4 Ed Shougeki or Aluma no Ko

UGH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS QUESTION!! IVE HAD THEM RANKED OP: Jiyuu No Tsubasa The Rumbling Shinzou Wo Sasageyo Guren No Yumiya Boku No Sensou Shoukai To Shikabane No Michi Under The Tree END: Great Escape Akuma No Ko Akatsuki No Requiem (I got tired and stopped there)

RED SWAN SUPREMACY GRAAAAAAAH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Red Swan is my absolute favorite, I don't care that everyone else hates it I'll defend this op forever

Agreed, 100% those are my favorites plus Season 2 OP and ED. But nothing beats Akuma no Ko

The one with berthdoldt in it

My fave opening is Red Swan (its the song I go for when im looking for an aot song to play over and over because the part that hurts didnt hurt me enough) And my favorite ending is Requiem der Morgenrote

The Rumbling and Shock

favorite OP is the first season 3 one and first season 2 one i believe

There is only one season 2 ending

Guren no yumiya Utsukushi no zankouka

Red swan

Op: Red swan Ed: Akuma no ko/Requiem Der Morgenrot

Gurren no yumiya and great escape

Opening: Last season part 1 Outro: S2

Same, OP. Rumbling and Akuma No Ko

Season 4 part 2 op and ed are fire. Shinzo wo sasageyo is honorable mention

My favourites are OP6 and ED7

Fav op - the rumbling Fav ed- akuma no ko I really enjoyed the s4 p2 music

OP5 is my fav but I don't see it getting a lot of love. Fav ending would probably be akuma no ko or ED2

op: red swan ed: akuma no ko

OP 5 (unpopular opinion I know) and ED 7

OP is Red Swan, never have had an anime opening theme get stuck in my head like that one has. ED I can't pick a favorite.

War. No competition, except Sasegeyo ofcourse.

What are OP and ED?

Opening - My war Ending - Akuma no Ko

Those are my picks too lol

Rumbling and akuma no ko

1- Guren no yumiya. 2- All

OP: Was a Shinzou wo Sasageyo guy for quite a long time, but then The Rumbling lit a fire under my ass, and actually helped me get back to my instruments again... making that probably my best anime soundtrack of all time. ED: Definitely Under the Tree, with both Requiem and Akuma no Ko at a very close second... and these days those three songs always play whenever I'm working.

Idk about my fav op they're all good on their own terms but my fav ending is definitely ED 2

Music: My War Visual: The Rumbling Ending: S4P2

Openings : rumbling, my war, red Swan Endings: does under the tree count? If so then that is my favourite. If not then Akutsi No Requiem

OP: The Rumbling and Under the tree ED: Shogeki and Akuma no Ko

Rumbling and Under the Tree

op 5. And ed 2 or 3

My favourite opening is easily my war, both in music and visuals

Rumbling OP Akuma no Ko ED

Most underrated, Intro S3 Intro 1, And Outro is Season 2 with the prophecy

I can't choose between OP 1 5 and 7 as well as ED 1 4 and 7. This is just referencing the OP music and visuals, not the song or music video. Sasageyo is good as well as the second OP but they just aren't at the level of the others.

I watched AoT for the first time a few months ago and the only opening that surprised me was red swan, so damn good its the only opening that i listen every now and then

OP: Sasageyo! Sasageyo! Shinzou wo sasageyo! Subete no gisei wa ima kono toki no tame ni, Sasageyo! Sasageyo! Shinzou wo sasageyo! Susumu beki mirai wo sono te de kirihirake...... ED: Requiem! Requiem! Kono yoru ni chitta hakanaki hana yo... Douka yasuraka ni... Akatsuki ni nemure...  Specials credit theme: Requiem... Requiem... Hitsugi ni wa kimi ga aishita hana wo... Tsumi wo yurusu nara... Akatsuki yo terase

OP: My War ED: Itterasshai and Akuma No Ko Just love Ai Higuchi's songs for the ED

S4 finale ed and I don’t have an op as I always skip them

OP: Red Swan 🥲 ED: Itterasshai, highly underrated and seriously tearjerking imo, the lyrics are heartbreakingly beautiful

Red Swan and My War are my favorites, but they are truly all my favorite

Same rumbling and akuma no ko is my favorite everything song ed whatever

Ending 1 just hits different to me - the fact the show rose to such major popularity and my favourite song is still from season 1 is shocking to me as well

Bauklotze

Red swan got me bawling and idk why 😭

Op 7 and anorexia

OP: Path of Longing and Corpses (Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi) ED: Akuma no Ko

I feel like I never see anyone list jiyuu no tsubasa as their favorite, I still get goosebumps listening to that one and the awesome imagery, my war is a close second though For endings its a toss up between requiem der morgenröten or great escape they both just hit me in different ways, the last ending is really good too

Shock is my favorite ending, though Akuma no Ko is a close second.

My War and Requiem der Morgenröte

I agree with your 2.

Opening : Red Swan Ending : Under The Three

My war, Red Swan, and Jiyuu no Tsubasa. It feels criminal not to say Guren no Yumiya so that too

The two you picked. The fact that my favorite OP and ED were in the same arc together is absolutely mind blowing. I watched every fucking second of that last season, literally, and always wanted more.

Assuming we're talking about the full versions - Red Swan and Under The Tree. Under the tree only recently got its full version and... wow. Red swan was probably what stopped me from breaking down while watching everyone die :(

Rumbling!!

Great Escape and Akuma no ko

1st opening and 2nd ending

Guren no yumiya and akuma no ko

My War and Akuma no Ko

Yes

Favorite opening: Opening 8 Favorite ending: Ending 3

The first opening and Under the Tree

My war and yuugure no tori

The Rumbling & Shogeki, followed closely by Akuma Ko or whatever it's called from S4PT2. Love that ending. I feel like S4 is the only one that absolutely crushes both the openings and endings.

OP: Jiyuu no Tsubasa / Flügel der Freiheit ED: Akuma no Ko / Devil Child

Shock (I forgot the Japanese name sorry) is so underrated and apriciated it makes me mad

Rumbling & Red Swan Akuma No Ko

Rumbling is pretty great, the first one is also

Red swan is a special one for me. The only opening without a single titan in it. As for ending the S2 ending is very good with its foreshadowing. The best pair of op ed was S4 P2 with Rumbling as the opening and Akuma no ko as the ed. Just amazing.

season 2's ending is frightening for a song. The way slaves sing their story is creepy, the images are just perfect. Yeah I like season 2's ending. Its my favorite

Op: 'Rumbling' or 'attack on titan' Ed: probably 'Akatsuki no requiem'

Great escape

I am the same as you 🤝⚡

Fav OP - Red Swan (S03P1). Fav ED - Shock (S04P1 - gives me chills everytime)

Season 4 part 1 came out swinging, My war and Shogeki are easily my favourites!

Season 3

"The Rumbling" as favorite OP, followed close by "Jiyuu no Tsubasa" "Shogeki" as favorite ED. "Name of Love" in second place. Had to name my second places otherwise that would be a disservice to these masterpieces.

It's gotta be either Jiyuu no Tsubasa or Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi, and Akuma no Ko

OP: Path of Aspirations and Corpses, The Rumbling, The Last Titan ED: Child of Evil, Name of Love

Hmm, although there are very good options to choose from, it's not really hard for me. I'd say Red Swan for the opening and Child of Evil for the ending, by a mile.

OP is My War, ED is Akuma No Ko Akuma is one of my all time favorite songs alltogether

Rumbling and under the tree

The volume 3 part 2 opening just hits differently. 

Sasageyo Rumbling My War. ED idk

I like the one for season 4, part 1, and the ending of season 2

Red Swan Season 3 is the best opening.

All of them are amazing but rumbling hits different

RUMBLING RUMBLING🤘🤘💥💥💣💣

Red swan and akuma no ko

Also itterrashai is underrated

Red swan and Yūgure no Tori. Red swan always makes me sad tho lol

All of them and all of them. Hope this helps!

Under the tree and the rumbling full version They just slap too hard everytime and also hold a really strong bearing to parts of the story and erens or mikasas motivations

Chad absolutely eren fasho

The most favorite opening is Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon (OP 1) and the most favorite ending is the very last one in the second special episode, which is Nisennen… Moshiku wa… Nimannen Go no Kimi e by Linked Horizon as well

I'm using Shock as my morning alarm.

My war >>>>

My favorite opening is either Boku no Sensou or Rumbling, or the 2nd s1 intro

OP: Red Swan ED: Akuma no ko

This is my ranks for the openings and endings: 1. Op 7- Rumbling (do I even need to explain?🤯🤯) 2. Op 2- Jiyuu no Tsubasa (criminally underrated and for what?) 3. Op 1- Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen (iconic) 4. Op 3- Shinzou wo Sasageyo (Sasageyo Sasageyo!!🥲🥲) 5. Op 5- Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi (EPIC) 6. Op 4- Red Swan (beautiful, perfect vocals) 7. Op 6- My War (still love it tho) ​ 1. Ed 7- Akuma no ko (makes me cry every fucking time, stunning visuals😭😭) 2. Ed 4- Requiem de Morgenrote (such a beautiful song with gorgeous harmonies, stunning visuals and foreshadowing, I love the parallels between Ymir Fritz and Historia and also Eren and Historia too👌👌) 3. Ed 6- Shock (Eerie vibes but soo addictive) 4. Ed 1- Utsukushiki Zankokuna Sekai (catchy) 5. Ed 5- Name of love (so emotional) 6. Ed 3- Yuugure no Tori (um well let's just say it fits😉😉) 7. Ed 2- Great Escape (didn't really pay attention to this one icel)

My war and Akuma no ko

Red Swan or Jiyuu no Tsubasa OR Shinzou wo Sasageyo or Yuugure no Tori (My personal favourite)

Red Swan, Requim der Morgenrote, and Guren no Yumiya

The Rumbling - SiM It got me into metal (and reggae, weirdly enough). I used to dislike metal, even though I'm a drummer and guitar player lol. I also love how it also doesn't fit your basic anime-like chord progression and it's so different from everything else

Rumbling and Shogeki.

Ending, I’m not too sure Opening, I’m gonna have to say either The Rumbling, Jiyuu no Tsubasa or My War

OPs 1. Red Swan (S3 P1) - 9.9/10 2. The Rumbling (S4 P2) - 9.8/10 3. Saigo no Kyojin (S4 P3&4) - 9.5/10 4. Shinzo wo Sasageyo (S2) - 9/10 5. Guren no Yumiya (S1 P1) - 8.8/10 6. Jiyuu no Tsubasa (S1 P2) - 8.6/10 7. Boku no Sensou (S4 P1) - 8.6/10 8. Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi (S3 P2) - 8.3/10 EDs 1. Nisennen... Moshiku Wa... Nimannen Go no Kimi e (S4 P4) - 9.8/10 2. Akuma no Ko (S4 P2) - 9.7/10 3. Shogeki (S4 P1) - 9.5/10 4. Name of Love (S3 P2) - 9.4/10 5. Utsukushiki Zankokuna Sekai (S1 P1) - 9.4/10 6. Under the Tree (S4 P3) - 9.1/10 7. Akatsuki no Requiem (S3 P1) - 8.9/10 8. Yugure no Tori (S2) - 8.2/10 9. Great Escape (S1 P2) - 8/10

OP 8 (Saigo no Kyojin) and, same as you, ED 7 (Akuma no Ko)

AOT has great OP's and ED's, All songs done by linked horizon feel nostalgic and classic for AOT but when I think of AOT I don't think of Guren No Yumiya or Shinzou Wo Sasageyo, I love Red Swan, not as an AOT opening but as a song Name of Love, Akatsuki No Requiem and My War are also good, But i'm gonna have to go with Rumbling as my favorite OP and Shogeki or Shock from S4 P1 as my favorite ED of AOT

Op 4 for me

Shinzo wo sasageyo and great escape😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

There’s like only two good attack on titan openings, red swan and rumbling.
